How to guess correctly on cards
There are a number of nuances, they are taken into account before starting fortune telling. They are relevant regardless of whether playing cards or Tarot are used.
Basic rules of fortune telling:
- Truthful answers require a new deck.. The exception is when it was inherited from a relative who cast spells and taught the heir.
- Cards must not be given to strangers. Compliance with the rule will eliminate the influence of other people's energy. For fortune telling, get a separate deck of cards. The one to whom the fortune is told touches it before receiving the answers.
- You can't ask the same questions in a row or “rethink” the result if you didn’t like it for one reason or another. Overuse will cause the cards to refuse to answer truthfully.
- Treat the fortune telling deck with care and respect. It should be stored in a secluded and clean place.
- You should cast a spell knowing why and what answers you expect to receive. Don't do fortune telling for fun and don't be skeptical about the process.
- Mood and condition seriously affect the result. In case of nervous tension and stress, there is no need to take up fortune telling. It can be misinterpreted or disrupt the subtle energetic connection between the owner and the instrument.
In any magical art there are restrictions on its use at certain times. Cards are no exception. Tradition prohibits women from doing this in critical days. Fortune telling on the waxing moon is favorable. Do not use the deck on Monday unless absolutely necessary.

Tarot or playing cards?
One of the most popular ways of predicting the future is fortune telling with cards. Some prefer the Tarot, but in order to interpret them correctly, you need to remember the meanings of all 78 arcana, and this can take a lot of time. Yes, and there are many other nuances. Therefore, we will simplify your task and tell you how to learn to guess with playing cards. Believe me, with their help you can predict the future and see the past just as well. Although, of course, you also need to know the meanings of each card, they are not as confusing as those of the Tarot.
The choice has been made, we are preparing for fortune telling
Let's start with a simple layout. Before you start telling fortunes with cards, you need to get a completely new deck. Cards that have been in the game cannot be used, as they will lie. Therefore, let you have a separate deck for predictions. And now here is a simple layout for love, for which you will need 36 cards. First, you need to shuffle the deck well and move it away from you with your left hand. Next, determine who you will guess at, and in accordance with this, select the king or queen of the desired suit. Which one is easy to determine. If you are telling fortunes to a young and unmarried girl, take out the queen of diamonds; if you are telling fortunes to an older woman, take out the queen of the cross. If the prediction is addressed to a man, then a married man is a king of hearts, a single man is a king of diamonds, an elderly man is a king of hearts, and a burning brunette is a king of spades.
Process in detail
And now in more detail about how to tell fortunes on cards. When the queen or king is chosen, the card must be placed in the middle of the table, after which two more are drawn from the deck at random and placed to the left and right of the main one. After this, the remaining deck must be shuffled again and, holding it face down, the cards must be taken out and laid out without looking, in the following order: two above the head mean the thoughts of this person; two on the right and left, at the top, diagonally - his dreams and plans; two cards at the feet - the very near future. Those cards that are already on the sides of the main one are the real ones. The next step for those who know how to read cards is to determine what is in a person's heart and underneath it. To do this, we pull out one card and, without turning it over, place it under the main one. This will show what is under a person's heart. And we predict what is on it as follows: having pulled out one card, we put it on top of the main one, after which we discard three pieces from the deck, put the fourth on the main card again, again discard three, and put the fourth one. We do this until the deck runs out. What is in the heart is the future, and what is underneath is the present.
